All four of us headed out to the location nearest us. It is actually in another state, but only about 30 minutes away and well worth the trip. We go to Applebee's on occasion, but as a family it is normally a treat. After all, $15 per person is a bit much for an everyday occurrence. This time we were going to try the limited offer that is available until November 13th. For the great price of $9,99, you are able to enjoy a wood fired grill, 6 oz top sirloin steak along with 2 sides. Believe me, their food is good, but when you bring in an offer like this? You can have your steak every day!
The waitress who seated us was not the friendliest, but our personal waitress was great. This is a young lady who was attentive without hovering and chatty with those who wanted to talk. We did have to ask about the $9.99 steak dinner as they had a sign up but when you open the menu, it says this is a higher price. Our waitress informed us that it actually rings up at the sale price, but not that way in the menu. We ordered our meals, three steaks and one grilled chicken and awaited our food to arrive. I wanted to see if these were as good as they looked on the sign. You know how it is with a lot of places, the pictures look great but then the food arrives and it is half the size or looks old. Let me show you pictures of food that arrived at our table and they can speak for themselves.

6 oz Top Sirloin Steak with Garlicky Green Beans
and
Crispy Cheddar Bacon Potatoes
Now, do those not look delicious!! I could not believe when they arrived at our table. The food was steaming hot, the portions were good and I could not wait to dig in. Let me show you a picture of the chicken plate as well.
Grilled Chicken Breast with Garlicky Green Beans
and
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
We did have one steak that turned out medium well instead of the medium we had asked for, but this was a minor issue and easily taken care of. As you can tell, everyone loved the garlicky items. They were the hit of the night and I personally loved the green beans. Nice and fresh tasting! The meats were so flavorful and tender. I definitely want to make another stop at Applebee's again for another steak before this is over.
Now, I know you are all anxious to hear about the wonderful giveaway. There will be two winners, each receiving a $25 e-gift card.

Or maybe take a friend out to eat :) I do know they would make a great gift for the holidays but the deal does end next month. You know the normal rules.
